Oh, so it's not a temper tantrum? It's your everyday attitude?!?!?!?!?! :O

I tried having a polite discussion. That's what a forum is for... I simply asked about your opinion on a topic. If you don't want to discuss the topic because of whatever reason that's totally fine, no problem

"The man walked into the park across the street from the courthouse, throwing flyers into the air, a senior law enforcement official told CNN. He then pulled something out of a backpack — it was not immediately clear what the item was — and lit himself on fire, the official said."

Flyers?!

That’s one less vote for the Donald. Unless votes by Ouija board are allowed in US?

Young man, threw colored flyers on the air before setting himself on fire. This might not be Trump related, might be Gaza related. Unclear at this point.

EDIT: Looks like Qanon, conspiracy theory related, or something like that

Joking aside, poor sod, was obviously mentally tormented, whatever set of beliefs led to this sad act.
